As soon as the leak of the exam questions came out, it had already reached the ears of all the scholars the next day.

First, those scholars who did not participate in Qiu Wei heard the news. They discussed it carefully. After the candidates had rested and woke up, the news finally reached everyone's ears.

When Zhu Hanshan woke up, he only felt refreshed, his mind was clear and his eyes were clear, and he felt very dry on his body, so he finally remembered what happened yesterday. He was immediately embarrassed, and when he saw the furnishings in the house, he realized that he was in the Ning family.

Zhu Hanshan got up and walked out the door. Before seeing Grandma Zhu, he heard several servants of the Ning family whispering together and whispering something. When he passed by, he seemed to have heard words such as "the imperial examination" and "examination questions".

Zhu Hanshan paused, walked out, and saw Grandma Zhu.

Grandma Zhu frowned, her face lost the joy of yesterday, and her face was full of worry. When he saw him coming out, he immediately said sadly: "Hanshan, grandma heard that something happened this time in the autumn..."

"What?" Zhu Hanshan hurried over to help her, "Grandma, sit down and talk slowly."

"Early this morning, someone came to tell Mrs. Ning that it was the leak of the Autumn Exam questions, Hanshan, you said, you said this..." Grandma Zhu, I don't know how to react.

She is just an ordinary rural peasant woman who doesn't know big characters. Her only wish is to watch her grandson pass the exam and become an official. She wished Hanshan hard work for many years, but she finally made it through. It didn't make the list, so this kind of thing happened!

Grandma Zhu felt uneasy in her heart, for fear that this incident would affect her grandson's fame.

Instead, Zhu Hanshan calmly said, "Grandma, don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with me."

"Really?" Grandma Zhu was worried: "But if those people got the exam questions and they were all better than you, what should I do..."

Zhu Hanshan smiled slightly: "Then they have to get it first."

Grandma Zhu looked at him blankly, not knowing what he meant.

There was a lot of rumors about leaking the question outside, and the classmates in Qingshan Academy heard that he was in Ning Mansion, and came to Ning Mansion to find him and discuss this matter with him.

The classmate poured a few glasses of water into his stomach, and then he said worriedly: "Brother Zhu, whether you say this is true or false, it has been spread all over the capital, saying that some people are buying and selling exam questions, if it is true..."

If it is true, Zhu Hanshan has always been excellent, so don't worry. But he was different. He was not very knowledgeable in his usual days. When he saw the exam questions this time, he had some confidence at first, but when he heard about it, he lost his confidence. If someone buys the exam questions, there is only a little chance in total. He is not the most powerful. What if he is brushed off

The classmate who came to Zhu Hanshan was a child of a poor family like him. Because he and Zhu Hanshan received the subsidy from King An together, the relationship was a little closer, but his knowledge was not as good as Zhu Hanshan.

Contrary to him, Zhu Hanshan remained calm.

He had given several questions to King An before, and Zhu Hanshan was not sure whether those questions were related to this autumn season. It was just that none of the questions he saw in the examination room overlapped with what he had seen before. Don't worry.

If someone did buy and sell the exam questions, then the problem of leaking the questions has already been solved by An Wang. If King An did not solve it, another set of problems would be sold. Since the matter has already been spread, the emperor will definitely not ignore it. If there are no leaks, then everyone will be happy.

Zhu Hanshan said: "Don't worry, since we all know about this matter, the emperor will definitely give us an explanation. Instead of worrying about this, it's better to wait for the emperor's reaction. The matter of leaking the question is very important, we just need to Just wait."

The classmate glanced at him hesitantly, thought about it, didn't say anything, and left in a tangled state.

On the other side, the Ning family was not at all calm.

Ning Shuo was seriously injured and was mentally exhausted from the nine-day exam. He slept until the next day before he woke up. The old lady and the second lady stayed by his side for a long time. Opening his eyes, he immediately rushed over excitedly: "Shuo'er, you are finally awake!"

"Mother? Grandma?" Ning Shuo blinked in confusion, and when his memory returned, his face suddenly stiffened. Ning Shuo struggled to sit up and hurriedly asked, "Mother, how did I get back?"

"You were beaten by someone else, and the book boy beside you brought you back." The second lady wiped away her tears and said, "This is so good, why did you get beaten up, but who offended you?"

"Shuo'er, do you still have pain? Are you dizzy?" The old lady said distressedly, "If you can see the appearance of the person who beat you, tell grandma, and grandma will stand up for you. You were beaten for no reason. Fight, those people must have no peace of mind."

Ning Shuo opened his mouth and closed it again.

How could he dare to mention it to the old lady

Others don't know, but he himself knows who the people who beat him are the ones who bought the exam questions from him. Originally thought it was a sure thing, but who knew that when they got to the exam room, they realized that the exam questions had been changed. When he saw the content of today's test paper, he had already guessed the immediate consequences.

It's just that Ning Shuo couldn't understand, how could such a good exam question suddenly change before the exam. When he got the exam questions from the adult, the adult had assured him that the exam questions were absolutely correct and would not go wrong. Naturally, the adult would not lie to him.

Has the leak of the question been discovered

But the people who bought the exam questions all rely on the exam questions to get their reputation, so how could they betray them? If not, who betrayed him

Ning Shuo's thoughts were flying, and the thought of those who bought the exam questions from him gave him a splitting headache.

Those people are rich and powerful, and this matter cannot be seen lightly. For example, he was beaten when he left the Gongyuan today, isn't that why? Impatient, he had already beaten him first, and he counted the number of people, but it was only a few of them, and he didn't know what the attitude of the remaining people was.

Ning Shuo's heart trembled, and he had already made up his mind that from today onwards, he would never go out again, and wait until this storm passed.

Therefore, he didn't know how much trouble had been made outside because of the leak of the exam questions. However, some familiar friends came to look for him and wanted to tell him about this, but because he was seriously injured in bed, the second lady gave orders that no one should disturb him, so his friends also went back.

The second room is not clear, but the Ning family is clear.

As soon as Jiang Yunlan heard the news, her heart rattled, and she subconsciously looked towards the second room. She quickly withdrew her gaze, but her chest was still thumping in shock. Jiang Yunlan thought for a while, but still couldn't sit still, got up and went to find Ning Nuan.

"Ah Nuan, tell your mother, this imperial examination leak, shouldn't it still have something to do with... and there?" If it was a joke at first, now Jiang Yunlan is a little flustered. , Still can't believe it: "What kind of character is the second room, my mother knows clearly, how can he Ning Shuo have such great ability, can he steal the exam questions?"

It was said that the second room had taken refuge with the eldest prince, but the eldest prince had done a wrong job before and was reprimanded by the emperor. She heard Ning Yanting say that now the eldest prince is safe and does not dare to do anything, how could it be? so bold

Ning Nuan thought about it, she didn't know much, and she had no clue for a while.

There was only one thing she cared about: "Mother, cousin suddenly has a lot of money in his hand, do you know where it came from?"

"How am I..." Jiang Yunlan paused, then took a deep breath, and looked at Ning Nuan in disbelief: "You said this is, he, he goes..."

Jiang Yunlan didn't dare to finish the rest of the sentence, she even covered her mouth, only the exposed pair of eyes were round and full of shock.

Ning Nuan said softly: "My cousin has been in Jiangzhou before, and I haven't heard of his business in Jiangzhou, but some time ago, he was spending money like flowing water, and every day he saw someone delivering things to his door. Second uncle and the others Where does he have so much money in his hand, even in such a short period of time, even if he is doing business, it is impossible for my cousin to earn so much money, but where did he get the money?"

"How dare he do such a thing?!" Jiang Yunlan also lowered her voice, her throat hurting from excitement: "He has never stayed in the capital, where did the exam questions come from?"

"I don't know. What my cousin did, I don't know either."

Jiang Yunlan frowned, just about to say something, but paused, she remembered something, and her face showed excitement again: "A Nuan, according to you, isn't the second room really short of money?"

"mother?"

"A Nuan, mother can now find an opportunity." Jiang Yunlan was very happy: "Mother thinks of a way, how to separate from the second room and the third room."

Ning Nuan looked at her suspiciously, but Jiang Yunlan didn't say anything and just left happily.

After Ning Yanting came back, she also took Ning Yanting to ask about the leak of the exam questions.

Because of this incident, Ning Yanting suddenly had a lot of official duties. He looked tired and said, "I don't know about this. This kind of thing has never happened in my last life. Maybe something went wrong."

Jiang Yunlan shared her and Ning Nuan's guesses.

"You mean Ning Shuo?!" Ning Yanting was surprised: "He actually did this?"

"I think it's really strange that he was beaten for no reason." Jiang Yunlan asked, "Then, is this exam question leaked?"

"The exam questions were leaked, but a few days ago, the emperor suddenly issued a decree to let the adults who asked the questions temporarily change the exam papers. The exam papers were changed, and this matter was originally revealed, but I don't know where it came from. It is said that the exam questions were leaked, and now all the candidates are waiting to discuss." Ning Yanting sighed: "I don't know who leaked this thing out."

Investigating the root cause, it is said that this news was also said by a certain student who bought the exam questions.

It is said that after the student bought the test questions, he was too complacent. When he was having a drink with his friends, he got drunk and said it quickly. His friend secretly memorized it. . When the autumn season was going on, the matter had already spread on a small scale. When the candidates came out of the examination room and they heard about it, it was considered a commotion.

But the student who bought the test questions was drunk and mistaken, and someone has been sent to investigate, but no results have been found so far.

Ning Yanting sighed heavily: "If this kind of thing happened in my previous life, but it didn't come out, wouldn't Ning Shuo still..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yunlan understood what he meant.

She responded: "Whether it happened in the previous life or not, if this matter is really related to Ning Shuo, we have to clear the relationship with him early, so as not to be implicated by him. If not, then it is naturally better, but we don't care. Whether he Ning Shuo is really talented or not, our Ning family has already split up."

Ning Yanting sighed and agreed.

On the other side of Ning Mansion, Ning Shuo drank the medicine, touched his broken leg, and thought about the person who hit him gnashing his teeth in his heart. He thought of the adult who gave him the exam questions, the promise that the adult gave him, and the sudden change of the exam questions. He thought about it, his eyelids jumped for no reason, and suddenly he had a bad premonition.
